The Island Retreat is the perfect holiday beach house to escape the busy city life and relax. Please be aware you will require a four wheel drive to access the island. Fully renovated, this four bedroom, two bathroom beach house oozes coastal charm. There are 4 bedrooms, master bedroom with king bed, 2 guest bedrooms with queen beds and a separate kids bunkhouse with 3 sets of bunk beds. The pavillion style house allows separation for those wanting to enjoy a peaceful afternoon snooze in the large parent retreat, children watching a DVD in the TV room, or those enjoying a drink on the deck. The house is fully equipt with modern Kitchen and BBQ facilities and the outdoor and indoor fireplace will comfort you on a winters night. Electricity in the house is environmentally friendly solar panels and battery system. Battery supply is great although guests should be mindful of power usage during their stay. A friendly property manager is more than happy to help if any problems arise. Rain water tanks supply the house with fresh water although in dry times bore water is used and drinking water is made available.
As the owners of this wonderful island property we hope you enjoy your stay on the island and love it as much as we do. It is remote and peaceful but a wonderful change from the daily city life. Great for kids to run free and enjoy the island life.
Moreton Island "The Gem of South East Queensland" is one of the best experiences that Australia has to offer. One of Australia's largest sand islands, making Moreton Island perfect for that much needed getaway. Moreton is almost completely sand with no roads, so a 4wd is needed past the landing points. Just across the bay from civilisation, Moreton is quickly being discovered as an unspoilt paradise for people wanting to relax and enjoy nature. The house is only a minute walk to the bayside of the island, with calm water for children to play. The surfside is a 5 minute beach drive. A must to experience the most pristine beaches in SouthEast Queensland. A short drive north, for the more energetic, climb the sand dunes, try sand tobogganing or snorkelling at the Tangalooma Wrecks. It is wonderful to explore the island or set up for the day on one of the numerous beautiful beachses. Please feel free to use the beach chairs and beach equipment at the house.
